    ok so i was surfing at croatan in vb last week ( yes on the small a$$ waves) and i was on a wave when a blind ***got dropped in right infront of me, my back fin, front fcs plug partially pulled out,

    how much would it be to be fixed professionally?
    when they do it, does it leave a big mark? like you can tell it was fixed?

    thanks for your help,

    It depends on two things. 1) how old is your board and what condition is the foam in (still white or faded yellow) and 2) how good the guy is who repairs it. I've fixed some that you could hardly tell and others that it was noticeable. The good news, if it is fixed properly it shouldn't give you any trouble in the future. This is pretty common.

    Depends on how bad it is. I think this happened to me and it cost $40 to fix. It was well worth it though. You can definitely tell it has been repaired. But it just comes with the territory man. Battlescars on your board man, it's a right of passage. To bad you weren't out in some heaving barrels and put your knee through your board and have a scar on your body to match.

    If your a VB local just call up Ed Towns and he'll hook you up with a quality repair on that plug.
